One of my big goals for this summer was to take my girls on their second camping trip ever, and this week, thanks to my sister, we succeeded!
I took this picture on the trip, at Swallow Falls State Park, in farthest western Maryland. My sister had been there before, but I hadn’t, and it was absolutely beautiful, well worth the trip. We got rained out at night due to a leaky rain fly on the tent, but we will definitely go back, either this fall or in the spring.
I’ve got my laptop back– three cheers! I start back to school (kind of, a workshop) on Monday, and I think I’m actually ready. Hope you’re all enjoying the last days of summer….


Beautiful! We enjoy visiting State Parks throughout the country and find that many of campsites are situated in beautiful settings such as Swallow Falls. Found this to be helpful as a tent camping guide. http://www.picnicplacemat.com/Dispersed-Camping-1.html
beautiful waterfall. Summer has ended way too quickly, I think. Best news is, it will come again, AND, we have Christmas to look forward to.
Cheers,
Debbie
Winter Break certainly does start to seem like the light at the end of the tunnel midway through the fall semester!
